“Chris Darnell will bring the SHOCKWAVE to Battle Creek, racing at well over 300 mph down our runway,” the website says. “This year, SHOCKWAVE will look a bit different, as it is painted to honor all of those who have served and are presently serving. It also has a TOP GUN appearance to coincide with the release of the new TOP GUN: MAVERICK later this year.”
